I bet you have heard of throat singing.How about a work out with that!? In fact a few lessons in modified diaphragmatic breathing could help.And a Russian scientist who created a breathing technique to help asthmatics could be worth an investigation,where there is a possibility of use.And dont forget American Indian languages,which maybe,more breatheee,and allow for instruction anew.It also struck me then,that a lot of sounds humans make are occupational related,like being in a dentist chair,say Ahhh.Translating these basic sounds to categories of words pictures instructions,could end up as shortcuts delivered say in a dental circumstance,for wheel chaired bound as clients or professionals.And adding whistles and bells too.Blah.Blah.Blah.

What happened to loading up a 3×3 grid on the screen, you say a number 1-9, then a new 3×3 grid appears in the previous square you just chose, you say a number 1-9 to narrow it down… this recurses… until you say “click” and it it clicks in the middle of the “5″ square you’ve narrowed down to.

I know I’ve seen that implemented somewhere.

Since I saw the NeuroSky stuff (brain control), this is kind useless

Took them long enough to think of this!!!!!!
Watch the software gona cost a bloody fortune.

Quick quick Everyone Make a clone of this for every O/S you can think of :)

Don’t forget Click/drag and R/mouse.

And since Voice recognition is so slow. how about a phonim keyboard. :)

Cool. I know someone who was in a car accident with limited arm movement (Can basically flail their arms, no real control yet). I’ll have to check this out.

You can do similar with voice recognition software. I think it’s Dragon that lets you kick up a grid on-screen. It’s 9×9 and you just narrow down your selection with a few words and then “click.”

We did the EXACT same thing for a session project at the University of Sherbrooke. Are second semester in electrical engineering. Instead of using software it was all done with hardware (filters and a FPGA). We where using 4 phoenemes to control a home made video game.

I remember this from a few years ago, the video looks a little older too.

Too bad if he looses his voice he will no longer be able to play card games anymore

Can I get this software somewhere?

Good luck. I can barely give vocal direction to humans telling them where I want them to click.
